Tuesday11th December - raging sea

We went to the North coast on Sunday to watch the sea. We had experienced 3 days of wild weather, driving rain and gale force winds which culminated in severe weather warning on Sunday. It was magnificent as long as you weren't out there.
The foam being blown off the wave tops covered you in seconds.

It was clear it was wild as there were no surfers to be seen. There are surfers all year but not this weekend.
It was hard to stand up so these photos are full of the atmosphere which is the reason for blurring.
The UK has a maritime climate and we experience the force of the Atlantic storms here in Cornwall. I love the wind and the rain which makes this type of weather so exciting.

Great photographs. I absolutely love to hear the roar of the sea; I am sure your cheeks were glowing after that outing.

Yes, wonderful photos - I feel as if I was there. [Too cold, though!]
